Fall Break & St. George!

 For our fall break we just stayed in town, but Nathan & Steph invited us to stay in St. George the week after for their fall break. We had a GREAT time! We hiked some in Zions National park. It definitely wasn't long enough because we couldn't get a shuttle ticket until 2:00 p.m. but we still really enjoyed it. 








Theres a dinosaur park we went to and had a blast. There were a lot of people but still fun. 





The pools/water park that was a part of Arcadia Resort were AMAZING!! The kids had so much fun and never got sick of being there. The lazy river and the slide were the best part for them. The best part to me was the hot tub...I could live in there :). 






Steph was awesome and had planned some meals, making caramel apples and we had fun playing games and watching movies. 



One of our last adventures was going to Snow Canyon and exploring the lava tubes. They were so cool! Jennie, Bryan and Cade stayed back with babies so Nathan and I took 10 kids through the caves by ourselves and it was really cool. Not too long but perfect for our group of littles. 






We had such a great time. I want to plan trips to St. George all the time!!

Springville Farm and Gardner Village

 With covid on the rise there aren't a ton of activities that we can do outside and feel safe as a family. But we went to a new farm in Springville that was super fun and also went to Gardner Village for a "Witch Hunt". Both were fun and just good to get out of the house!






Gardner Village and the petting zoo there...










Family Hiking!

I got to do some amazing hiking this summer and I am so happy about it! Going up AF canyon if amazing but one of my favorite things is going in the FALL!!! It is so incredibly gorgeous!!! I also finally got to hike Silver Lake with Boose and Emma and it was amazing. So peaceful and calm up there. And there weren't too many people there either. It was so fun to have Emma come with us and I can't wait for more adventures with her and my other girls! 











Another gem we found was a trail up by Granite Flats campground. When the fall colors came out it was absolutely breath-taking! Utah canyons are AMAZING!! I love nature and love that I am so close to it!












Battlecreek is always a family favorite. The girls love playing in the waterfall at the top. Totally doable for little kids too.
